उत्तर
Given that, first term of the first AP(a) = 8
And common difference of the first AP(d) = 20
Let the number of terms in first AP be n.
∵ Sum of first n terms of an AP,
Sn = `n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]`
∴ Sn = `n/2[2 xx 8 + (n - 1)20]`
⇒ Sn = `n/2 (16 + 20n - 20)`
⇒ Sn = `n/2(20n - 4)`
∴ Sn = n(10n – 2) ...(i)
Now, first term of the second AP(a’) = – 30
And common difference of the second AP(d’) = 8
∴ Sum of first 2n terms of second AP,
S2n = `(2n)/2[2a + (2n - 1)d]`
⇒ S2n = n[2(– 30) + (2n – 1)(8)]
⇒ S2n = n[– 60 + 16n – 8)]
⇒ S2n = n[16n – 68] ...(ii)
Now, by given condition,
Sum of first n terms of the first AP = Sum of first 2n terms of the second AP
⇒ Sn = S2n ...[From equations (i) and (ii)]
⇒ n(10n – 2) = n(16n – 68)
⇒ n[(16n – 68) – (10n – 2)] = 0
⇒ n(16n – 68 – 10n + 2) = 0
⇒ n(6n – 66) = 0
⇒ n = 11 ...[∵ n ≠ 0]
Hence, the required value of n is 11.

In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first potato and other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten potatoes in the line.
A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next potato, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket.
